A Labanotation score most definitely makes a dance piece more permanent, provided someone can read it. I hope that many more companies undertake these kinds of recreations from Labanotation scores, like the Maslow project CityDance is working on. You are to be commended.<BR/><BR/>My personal vision for 2042 is a proliferation of performances of dances from notation, as prominent and as copious as the reproductions of classical musical and theatrical works. The reconstruction of these kinds art are commonplace, and in any cases their creators have been absent from the process for a long time. Skilled professionals are trusted to recreate the work in a way that honors its creator's intentions entirely by interpreting the words or notes on the page, and without the assistance of any musicians or artists that participated in the original performance. My hope for Labanotation is that it will provide a means for dance to be as easily reproduced and performed.<BR/><BR/>I will refrain from writing an entire paper about my thoughts on the subject. Thank you for documenting your experience, it is truly fascinating.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368437158673765240noreply@blogger.com
